Looks like how mine turned out a couple of days ago. Should have known I was in trouble when I noted the haridresser’s do-black and pale reddish chunks, looked like someone’s taken a weedeater to it. I should’a run. Poor piggie!

Resrie: Oh noes! Not the Grammar Police! They are a relentless bunch! :)
Piggie-poo in the picture is really cute. I’m loving the extreme inky black color of his beady little eyeball. And I think his hair do is cool! Very just-got-out-of-bed-fashionably kind of a look. I’m sporting that same do myself right now.

Resrie: I didn’t have to tip anybody. I’m just really naturally messy looking when I crawl out of bed in the morning! It’s great! I just get out of bed and have this cool, fashionably scruffy looking thing going on. I even make runs to the corner store in my slipper booties!!

I have a hair appointment the day after tommorow and cannot decide what I want to do. I have three choices:

1. Carry on the way I have been for the last 6 months (Black, in a Velma Kelly bob).
2. The same cut but a wildly different colour, like bright red.
3. The same colour but a wildly different style, like a finger wave, or 1940s bangs….

(I’m so thankful that I’m not the only member of the Establishment. Can I be a member of the Establishment & still be a hippie??? I really *LIKE* my psychedelic tie-dye shirts……………and my PP& M albums– am I still allowed to call them albums or am I only allowed to use the term “CD’s”??)

…I thought it was a reference to a recent 30 Rock where Tracy’s wife says she just got her hair did….

Angie: Where were you last week during Tracy Jr.’s birthday party?
Tracy: There was a better kid’s birthday party up the street!
Angie: I cannot believe you made me come here for this. Now I won’t have enough time to shop for Christmas presents and still get my hair did.
Tracy: Your hair did!? You just got your hair did. You have to get your hair did again?!
Angie: IT NEEDS TO BE DID EVERY WEEK!

Speaking of hair – I’m sitting here right this minute with this harsh horrible smelling hair removal crap all over my chin and neck to remove my lovely hag hairs. I’m having a grooming fest. Luckily, my Native American roots have had this cool thing where hair really doesn’t grow on my legs so I don’t have to shave them. But I think all of those hairs relocated to my chin and neck. Awwwww. Aging is sooo interesting.

Hmmmmmm. Well that was rather interesting. I somehow managed to get a bit of that stuff in my mouth so there was alot of rinsing and spitting going on here. I think the stuff worked although I may have left it on a bit too long as my skin is stinging and burning and I have a feeling I may wake up with some unsightly scabs on my chin in the morning. Oh well. I’ll just chalk it up to a job well done and move on to the next challenge.

While we CO followers will swallow just about anything cute and agree that it’s adorable….some of us are by career choice Grammar Police, Librariologists,
and sticks in the mud in terms of composiche & similar areas.

Or then again — maybe I should indicate that we’ve been spoiled by NTM who often develops his narratives in such way that we get the visual cute but he also includes the “Monty Python uptight British dialogue” (sorry to any non-uptight British CO followers)….

So if a major-cute picture on CO uses the title “I Got My Hair Did”…….even if we LOVE the avant-garde hairstyle on the GP in the pic….we still feel a twitching in our feet, over the grammatically unfortunate slang …If the same pic and title were released, with the sentence “No actual harm was intended to the grammar in the following storyline; it is only intended as an amusing diversion” ……..those of us who are…a BIT grammatically reactionary ……..would not have felt compelled to contact the Authorities.

** Not that I ** myself**, had anything to do with notifying the Authorities,
you understand. … I’m merely attempting to bring a Mutual Understanding to the Parties Involved.

PS also @ Prongs
(or maybe it was a different Ed who responded to my # 15 ?)

I must admit that I was “Not Clear on the Concept” intended, by the Ed’s
comment about the Punctuation Police…I admit that I used numerous exclamation points, which might be unsophisticated in Computerworld ………Were there any other gaffes in my correspondence or did I do something truly offensive?

I think it is usually obvious when someone is playing with language and spelling,rather than they have no sense of grammar or composition. I know a lot of my mistakes happen, because I am a two fingered typist and have to look at the keyboard and not see what is appearing on the screen, of course I read it and check it, but until it appears posted, it is surprising what I manage to miss.
When I post from home using a lap top I find the cursor has a mind of its own, I often look at the screen and see that a sentence I am working on has jumped into the middle of my comment I also have a problem of not hitting the keys hard enough and look up to see that several letters are missing.

Hon Glad: Your comments are always a joy to read even if there are mistakes! I myself have this weird obsession of always needing to spell everything right because I was a court reporter for a while and transcripts had to be perfect. This actually bugs me about myself. So one time, me and a friend of mine decided that we would write notes to each other purposely speling evry theeng rong. Itz actauly kynd ov haurd too dew. :)

resriechan – When I see your abbreviation of Queen of Dork, I always think
“Quod erat Demonstrandum ” even though ts QED and not QoD.
I recall a study where whole sentences were misspelled, as long as the first and last letter of each word was correct and the number of letters between them the right length, it was perfectly understandable.

I LOVE research. In order to come up with a relevant responding Latin phrase, I just came back from a website & began by browsing under the Q’s…. You’ll NEVER imagine, one phrase that the webpage offers…..Ya won’t NEED to guess it, though, because heretofore (I hope this website’s data is legit…..it could be saying “Go to the bathroom”, for all I know — I took Fr., and bits of Ger & Russian; but never took Latin)

“Quomodo cogis comas tuas sic videri?” -” How do you get your hair to do that?”

It’s as though that website knew about CO, knew about the GPig picture
& knew about this comment stream………………..
